Just listened again and maybe it deserves to be above SNW, but most of the album does little to nothing for me. I do really like the title track, Prince, Sextape, Risk, and This Place Is Death though. And there's nothing on there I dislike as much as the stuff I dislike on SNW, so I will change DE to 6th.
This Place is Death is awesome. All of their closers are <--- I think I have said this 100 times. You could make a kickass album out of their closers.
I’m right there with you on it doing little to nothing for me, as far as Deftones albums go. I caught a lot of flak for saying that a couple months ago in here, haha.
it's the only deftones album my dad likes (lol sure dad) but, yeah, that song has been tattooed on my brain since I was like 10
what you're describing is how I feel about gore and not SNW haha 5 posts in a row? is it 5? I've been drinking and don't care :)
So uh a lot of stuff happened, guess my late evenings are going to be focused on Deftones and only them. I actually listened to Saturday Night Wrist on my way back home just earlier. I always regarded S/T as my fave, being the album that got me into the band. However, it's not the easiest listen due to its raw and both menacing/beautiful soundscape. Definitely agree with everything @nohandstoholdonto said about it in the last few pages. I usually go with Koi No Yokan, White Pony or Diamond Eyes first everytime I'm craving their music.
I'm catching up on the album thread at Sharinglungs at the same time and I got to the part where they still think this isn't the artwork or that the bottom half is going to be revealed later, all while believing random hints newly registered users acting as insiders posted.
koi no yokan white pony diamond eyes gore (????) saturday night wrist deftones around the fur adrenaline still don't know how to rank gore all of these records are awesome and have no bad tracks except for the last minute of "pink cellphone"
I missed the opener discussion cos I was asleep but my input: "Hole in the Earth" is their best opener by a landslide. also one of their best songs overall - thanks
Hole in the Earth and Diamond Eyes are top two openers imo. I love prayers/triangles too but it just doesn't work as an opener for me
Swerve City and Feiticeira Also, My Own Summer and Bored As well as, Hole In The Earth and Diamond Eyes In addition to, Hexagram and Prayers/Triangles
Back when Diamond Eyes leaked, someone immediately had the audacity to point out the similarity of the hook to this and I still can't unhear it. Whoever that was, thank you. In other news, this made me chuckle.
I know we've been here before, but: Hole in the earth > Hexagram > Feiticeira > Swerve City > Diamond Eyes > My Own Summer > Bored > Prayers/Triangles And its worth saying I actually still love P/T as an opener.
Late to the party, whoo! Album ranking: WP, S/T, SNW, DE, KNY, ATF, Gore, Adrenaline Opener ranking: Hole in the Earth, Diamond Eyes, Hexagram, My Own Summer, Feiticeira, Swerve City, Bored, P/T They are all great though. Reading through this thread, I guess my hottest take is that I like Mein...
